Collapses and revivals in the energy exchange in the process ofk-photon down-conversion with quantized pump

Abstract

We analyze the collapse and revival phenomenon in the energy exchange of two field modes initially prepared in a Fock state, as well as their coherent superposition in the process of k-photon down-conversion with quantized pump. The influence of the presence of a Kerr-like medium is discussed.

Collapse-revival Phenomenon in the Process ofk-photon Down Conversion with Superpositions of Number States

G. Drobný, Igor Jex, Masahiro Matsuoka

We calculate numerically the time evolution of the mean photon number in the process of k-photon down conversion process with quantized pump. The pump mode was supposed to be initially in a superposition of number states and the down converted mode in a number state. We analysed in some detail the influence of the initial field statistics of the pump mode as well as the presence of non-vacuum number states in the down converted mode on the appearance of collapses and revivals.

Revival Time Estimation in the Process of Down Conversion

Igor Jex

We analyse the collapse-revival phenomenon in the process of k-photon down conversion with quantized pump for initial Fock states. We give an explanation for the appearance of the revivals by analysing the decomposition of the initial state into the interaction Hamiltonian eigenvectors. A quantitative estimation of the revival times is given as well.

Statistics of field modes in the process ofk-photon down-conversion with a quantized pump

G. Drobný, Igor Jex

We solve numerically the dynamics of a system related to the problem of k-photon down-conversion with a quantized pump. We analyze in detail the statistical properties of the field modes. We show that the fields exhibit sub-Poissonian statistics and anticorrelation. The influence of different initial Fock states as well as their coherent superpositions on the field statistics and squeezing of the modes is analyzed in detail.

Collapse and revival phenomenon in the evolution of a resonant field in a Kerr-like medium

G. S. Agarwal, Ravinder Rupchand Puri

A quantum theory of the propagation of a single-mode resonant field through a Kerr-like medium is given. Numerical studies show the existence of the quantum collapses and revivals in the otherwise periodic exchange of energy between the field and the atomic oscillator. Approximate analytical methods are developed to explain the numerical results for the case of weak nonlinearity of the Kerr medium. For large nonlinearity, the correspondence with the Jaynes-Cummings model is discussed.

Dynamical evolution of the two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model in a Kerr-like medium

Amitabh Joshi, Ravinder Rupchand Puri

The collapse-and-revival phenomenon in the population inversion and the time evolution of the quasiprobability Q function of an atom undergoing a two-photon process are investigated when the cavity is supposed to be filled with a Kerr-like medium. An exact expression for the atomic population inversion has been given for a field initially in the coherent state. The closed form of this expression as well as that of the Q function are obtained under the high-field approximation. Also, the tendency toward inhibited decay of the excited state has been explicitly shown. This study reveals how the simultaneous occurrence of two nonlinear processes affects the atomic dynamics.

Atomic dynamics in the mode–mode competition system

Qin Wu, Mao-Fa Fang

The atomic dynamical properties in the system with competing k -photon and l -photon transitions are studied fully by means of quantum theory. We discuss the influences of the mode–mode competition, the relative competing strengths of the atom and the two-mode field and the initial state of the system on the atomic dynamics. We show that the presence of the mode–mode competition can result in quite a periodical collapses-revivals of the atomic inversion and the increase of the initial photons of the system can lead to the collapse–revival phenomenon and prolong the revival time of the atomic inversion.
